Not a big shock, but still a pleasant surprise. Golic's early offer, and commit, shows how well CW learns from the process, with reference to Brian Smith. Golic, like Smith, is not going to be a Rivals or Scout 100 in 2008. In fact, because of his early commit to ND, Scout with its' anti-ND bias will almost certainly make him a 3 star, and he will be at best a 4 star on Rivals. However, like Brian Smith, he is a intelligent and hard working legacy kid who really wants to go to ND, and is filling a position that will be a definite need after the departure of Sullivan, and the move to Defense of some of the 2007 OL recruits. Golic like Brian Smith may not be one of the top elite's that CW covets, but I predict they will both be exceptional college players, and great representatives of the Irish football program. Congrats to the Golic family, and to CW for making this happen in February of 2007, not February of 2008.
